This video talks about how we actually have more control over the shape of the beam than just adding additional elements, or adjusting the position and orientation of the elements. We can also adjust the gain of the signal to each element and apply phase unevenly to each element, and that gives us a lot more flexibility in beam forming. Plus, with the advances in fast analog to digital converters, we can have full digital control over each individual element which opens up the possibility of adaptive beamforming.
